Dokk1
Dokk1 sits right on the harbor — a modern library and community space where locals meet, kids play, and the city shows off its creative side. We’ll take a moment to explore why it’s become a favorite stop for both visitors and residents.
Aarhus River Walk is a laid-back stretch lined with cafés, street life, and bits of local history. It’s where the city feels most alive and authentic.

Our private tour guide David, met us promptly at our hotel, and proceeded to exhibit a high level of professionalism, courtesy, site & country knowledge (historical, cultural & geographic), humor & curiosity that revealed an utterly captivating, charming man; who will soon have you feeling the same of the City of Aarhus. We highly commend this tour & guide.

The city tour with our guide David was a great experience, especially through the many fascinating stories about the architecture and history of Aarhus and through the special explanation of the 17 Wall paintings in Aarhus.

My wife and I did the Aarhus City Highlights Private Tour, with David. In short, it was awesome! David's passion was evident from the beginning. Deep history, backstories, and surprises made the time fly. For a visitor that wants to get a sense of the area, this was perfect. Thanks David!

We found the guide to be knowledgeable, passionate, engaging, and entertaining. We enjoyed the stories, particularly about Harald Bluetooth, Denmark during WW 2, and the church history. Strongly recommend this tour.

I really enjoyed the guided tour with David and would definitely recommend it. It was a great way to get to know both the historic and more modern parts of Aarhus. David clearly knows a lot about the city and shares it in a relaxed and engaging way. I especially liked the visit to the Cathedral and the walk through the Latin Quarter. The route felt well thought out, and the whole experiance was both interesting and enjoyable. Thanks again for the tour!
